By: R. Dunn n & M. Fitzpatrick*

Contributors: R. Dunn n & M. Fitzpatrick*

TL;DR: Any estimate of the number of species on Earth at risk from climate change must begin with the question of how many species can be found on Earth, and because most species are insects, how many insect species in particular. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: biological invasions; exotic species; formicidae; richness estimator
MeSH headings : Animal Migration; Animals; Ants / physiology; Commerce
TL;DR: The results suggest that the numbers of introduced or established ants may be much larger than the numbers so far documented, and if exotic species tend to match climates and if arrival/establishment is dependent upon higher trade rates from neighbouring countries. (via Semantic Scholar)

Using Physiology to Predict the Responses of Ants to Climatic Warming

INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY, 53(6), 965–974.

Contributors: S. Diamond n, C. Penick n, S. Pelini n, A. Ellison n, N. Gotelli n, N. Sanders n, R. Dunn n

MeSH headings : Acclimatization / physiology; Animals; Ants / physiology; Appetitive Behavior / physiology; Ecosystem; Genetic Fitness / physiology; Global Warming; Life Tables; Massachusetts; Models, Biological; North Carolina; Population Dynamics; Species Specificity; Survival Analysis; Temperature; Trees
TL;DR: It is suggested that while physiological tolerance of temperature can be a useful predictive tool for modeling responses to climatic change, future efforts should be devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of variability in models of tolerance calibrated with different metrics of performance and fitness.

Tracing the Rise of Ants - Out of the Ground

PLOS ONE, 8(12).

Contributors: A. Lucky n, M. Trautwein n, B. Guenard n, M. Weiser n & R. Dunn n

MeSH headings : Animals; Ants; Ecosystem; Evolution, Molecular; Hot Temperature; Phylogeny; Plant Leaves; Soil; Statistics as Topic
TL;DR: This work reconstructs the habitat transitions of crown-group ants through time, focusing on where they nest and forage (in the canopy, litter, or soil), and shows that in contrast to the current consensus based on verbal arguments that ants evolved in tropical leaf litter, the soil is supported as the ancestral stratum of all ants.

Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Linguistic Diversity

BIOSCIENCE, 63(7), 524–535.

By: M. Gavin, C. Botero n, C. Bowern*, R. Colwell*, M. Dunn*, R. Dunn n, R. Gray*, K. Kirby* ...

Contributors: M. Gavin, C. Botero n, C. Bowern*, R. Colwell*, M. Dunn*, R. Dunn n, R. Gray*, K. Kirby* ...

author keywords: linguistic diversity; biogeography and ecology; geographic patterns; research methods; languages
TL;DR: It is suggested that future analyses should account for interactions among causal factors, the lack of spatial and phylogenetic independence of the data, and transitory patterns, and future modeling approaches should also evaluate how the outcomes of these processes are influenced by demography, environmental heterogeneity, and time.
